Subject: [PATCH v15 7/9] Bump protocol version to 3.2

In preparation of new additions to the protocol in a follow up commit
this bumps the minor protocol version number. Instead of bumping the
version number to 3.1, which would be the next minor version, we skip
that one and bump straight to 3.2. The reason for this is that many
PgBouncer releases have, due to an off-by-one bug, reported 3.1 as
supported[1]. These versions would interpret 3.1 as equivalent to 3.0. So
if we would now add extra messages to the 3.1 protocol, clients would
succeed to connect to PgBouncer, but would then cause connection
failures when sending such new messages.

So instead of bumping to 3.1, we bump the protocol version to 3.2, for
which these buggy PgBouncer releases will correctly close the connection
at the startup packet. It's a bit strange to skip a version number due
to a bug in a third-party application, but PgBouncer is used widely
enough that it seems worth it to not cause user confusion when
connecting to recent versions of it. Especially since skipping a single
minor version number in the protocol versioning doesn't really cost us
anything. So, while this is not the most theoretically sound decission,
it is the most pragmatic one.
